"Shun-di, have you finally decided to go out lately?"
Since Lin Ruhai gave Zhou Shun, Gu Yuzhi, and Huo Huaixi each a set of exam papers, Gu Yuzhi came to deliver the papers once, but Huo Huaixi and Zhou Shun never came.
Lin Ruhai was smug for a long time, and even said that this time he was probably stumped and embarrassed to come.
Zhou Shun scratched his head sheepishly, "I finished the test paper, but my grandmother is sick, so I don't have time."
"Is Princess Pingyang ill?" Shen Ajiao thought of the very talkative old lady she had met last time. She had been very friendly to her and Lin Daiyu and had given them many nice things.
"Is it serious?" Shen Ajiao thought that she should go and check on it later.
Zhou Shun shook his head. "It's just that I'm getting old and caught a bit of a cold. I coughed a few times, but it's nothing serious, I'm fine now."
"I haven't seen the princess for a long time." Lin Daiyu looked at Shen Ajiao, and the two hit it off immediately. They bought some things and went to the Zhou family with Zhou Shun.
Princess Pingyang was listening to a play in the courtyard when her grandson sent someone to say that Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin would be arriving soon. She quickly called Zhou Shun's mother and sister to accompany them.
Some snacks and tea were prepared for Chen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu.
Before they could even meet Chen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu, an uninvited guest arrived.
"Your Highness is well."
Princess Pingyang sipped her tea and rose with a smile to greet him, "Greetings, Prince Bei Jing. May I ask what brings you to my humble abode?"
Shui Rong clasped his hands in a respectful bow, saying, "I heard that Your Highness is unwell, so I came to visit you."
Princess Pingyang said, "Your Highness's information is a bit outdated. I have already recovered, so there is no need for Your Highness to worry."
"Your Highness is truly a blessed person."
Princess Pingyang just wanted to laugh. She was lucky to have someone come to annoy her right after she recovered from her illness. She didn't want to pay any attention to them. She was already so old, couldn't she just enjoy her old age in peace?
"Has anyone returned from visiting the eldest son's family?"
Zhou Shun's mother, Madam Yang, stood up and gestured for him to come this way. "Your Highness, this way please. The old lady is getting on in years and needs to rest. My husband is already on his way back. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."
Prince Bei Jing smiled and shook his head, "No need, I'll stay here and keep the Princess company. You held me when I was little."
When Shen Ajiao overheard this, she barely managed to suppress a laugh. It turns out that everyone loves to try and build connections like this.
Princess Pingyang was reluctant, saying, "Your Highness, please move your carriage. I have guests to entertain later."
Prince Bei Jing laughed heartily, "Since that's the case, I'd like to see even more impressive people who require the Princess's personal hospitality. Perhaps we'll even meet them!"
Princess Pingyang cursed him under her breath, calling him a scoundrel. She couldn't do anything about him; he stubbornly refused to leave, and she couldn't get rid of him.
He glanced at Zhou Shun's mother, Madam Yang, and said with a smile, "Let me see if the snacks are ready for the Prince."
Prince Bei Jing knew what it was about, but he didn't say anything.
As soon as Madam Yang came out, she saw Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu at the door. She went up to them affectionately and whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin today. There are some things to take care of at home, so it's not convenient."
He glanced at Zhou Shun and his sister, "Help Mother entertain them."
Zhou Shun's older sister, Zhou Ying, is fifteen years old this year. She is a quiet girl who doesn't talk much, but she doesn't make people feel neglected.
After sitting with Zhou Ying for a while, they were taken to the place where Zhou Shun usually practiced martial arts.
Just then, I saw Zhou Shun sparring with a guard.
"Little brother Shun, you know a couple more moves, don't you?"
Zhou Shun chuckled, “I’ve been practicing for an hour every day since I started learning at the age of six.”
Even Lin Daiyu was surprised, "Is it true or not?"
Zhou Ying smiled and nodded, indicating that Zhou Shun should demonstrate for Shen Ajiao.
Zhou Shun: "What do you want to see? Is it boxing, fighting, or sword fighting?"
Sure enough, teenagers have boundless energy.
"Come on, do what you're good at."
Zhou Shun nodded, ordered the servants to bring some tea and snacks, and then went to select a red-tasseled spear, which he then brandished in front of Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu.
Every move and stance clearly demonstrates the skill and effort put into it.
I never expected my younger brother Shun to be so talented in both academics and martial arts.
"good!"
Zhou Shun put down the spear in his hand, somewhat embarrassed, "I didn't practice well, please don't mind, Sister Ajiao."
【What do I care about? My brother Shun is a thousand times better than anyone else. He doesn't steal chickens or tease dogs, and he's a good Hajime who respects the elderly and loves the young~】
Lin Daiyu: The last sentence is unnecessary to say, it's really too much.
"You're already very capable, being able to practice and willing to spend time figuring things out." Lin Daiyu promptly gave him her affirmation.
Zhou Shun was overjoyed. He went and practiced a set of boxing moves, then did some training on the wooden dummy.
It looks exactly like a large peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Lin Daiyu: No, she thinks she's practicing very well.
Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu stayed with Zhou Shun for a while, but Princess Pingyang did not send anyone to invite them, so Zhou Shun and Zhou Ying sent them back.
Upon returning, he encountered Prince Bei Jing, Shui Rong, who was walking out. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Where did you go?
Zhou Shun said, "I've gone to find some medicinal herbs for my grandmother."
The beads in Prince Bei Jing's hand spun rapidly. "Didn't you go anywhere else?"
"Yes, I went to all the major pharmacies. Oh, and I also went to the pastry shop and bought some easily digestible pastries. Would Your Highness like some?"
The water-soluble gas appeared out of nowhere, and he only realized the person had gone back when he was about to leave!
"No, you can keep it for yourself."
After cursing under his breath, Shui Rong rode away from the Zhou family.
Zhou Shun glanced at the departing Prince Bei Jing, then turned and went to Princess Wang Pingyang's courtyard.
Princess Pingyang greeted Zhou Shun with a smile and waved, "Shun'er is back, come quickly to your grandmother."
